#2 Good catch. They learned that from the Soviets, BTW, who gave us the UN, NGOs, and many of the idiotic treaties we know today.

(Like the "no nukes in space" treaty, the additional Geneva Convention that tried to extend protections to terrorists, etc...)

#4 international law warfare (seizing the earliest opportunity to set up regulations)

Its's been clear to me for a while that the primary function of 'International law' is bind and burden states who follow rules, while they have no such effect on states that don't.

#5 There ya go Phil_B. Right on the mark. International law works between nations that respect their own and other's laws. Our enemies use international law to attack us because they know that we try to follow the letter and spirit of the law. They don't, and they do not care. Nobody will call them on it.

NGOs like Am-Nasty International use international law as a tool to attack us, while they ignore gross and blatant violations of human rights and the laws of war that people like the Taliban or Iran, or Sammy's Iraq did. They do this to attack and diminish the US, which is what their real agenda is all about.

As far as the new Chicom railway line to Lhasa goes, I wonder how many major bridges the line spans. Critical nodes, ya know.

#6 Rail Road Mounted Balistic Missles such a 1950's idea. Looks good on paper.

Better ask somone who actually works on a Rail Road how good an idea that really isn't.

#7 Let us all rest easy.

A "friend" works for a major "U.S." financial services company that is in the process of shifting most of its software development and systems admin to a subsidiary in red China. The short term goal is to unemploy the "overpaid" Americans now doing the work, the long term goal has not been considered.

This company performs the bulk of North America's securities processing, and is now ready to turn the system keys over to their red Chinese "employees."

While Sarbanes Oxley already has provisions that would lock up the executives until Kingdom Come for such a fiduciary breach, the Feds aren't enforcing SOX, so the near term bonuses are on schedule to be paid.

The one area within the company that could have blocked this, corporate security, has been placed under the management of the company's primary Sino-phile and director of software development.

When you think about your 401K, think about this.
